I'm chewing over the cookies for doing the bare minimum thing. I didn't pick up on it while reading the book, partly because Rue's race is more vague (...I thought she was Asian I dunno! /o\), and also partly because I got focused on the bread thing as an act of defiance(?) in memory of Katniss defending Rue (and not purely for grieving her). But yeah, huh, looking at things in a slightly different light now.

I too wanted more of Rue; it makes me sad that her part was cut down as much as it was, because I really really wanted to see more of her and have more of her story onscreen ;_;
